I am still filtering out all the usual paperwork that comes with a previously loved airplane. You know, the usual receipts for 12 new batteries dating back to WWII etc. Anyway, there are lots of yellow tags stapled in the logs and almost as many in various envelopes. I was scanning the logs onto...

A previous owner, in an attempt to make his yokes move more freely, used dry graphite in the yokes on our Pathfinder. Of course, as moisture and condensation came and went, this graphite clumped up and got gritty. This would restrict motion, so he apparently added MORE graphite. Long story...

A person told me it is better to push the primer slowly rather then quick shots. Slower is better on pulling out the primer as this allows the primer cylinder to draw in all the fuel it can take. Pushing the charge in quickly is probably best as the velocity may help in atomizing the...

What is required as far as a formal equipment list for part 91 operations? In reading 91.205 and listening to one instructor I know, I cannot reconcile what he says with the FARs. He states that an aircraft must have an equipment list. I cannot find an equipment list for the plane I fly...

I'm a little confused as to the requirements that an aircraft must meet to launch into known icing conditions. To further add to my confusion, the regulatory requirements (may be just the interpretation of?) has changed over the years. My personal situation, I own a '69 Aztec (D model) and 1974...

I'm trying to figure out what portable device to buy to provide in- flight weather, as well as terrain info. Electronic approach plates and enroute charts, as well as flight planning capability, would also be a plus, but not essential. I fly a Cessna 172 that is already equipped with a Garmin...

Hey all. I've got a hershey-bar PA-28 that's been without wheel pants since we bought it. Looks a bit ghetto, and I'd like the speed increase available by putting some on. Awhile back, I ebayed up a set of archer pants thinking I may be able to make them work. After looking at it, it seemed...

This starter is for a Grumman Traveler or Cheetah with the Lycoming O-320 E2G. Electrosystems Part # MZ-6222 At 7 1/2 lbs., MagnaFlite is the lightest starter on the market. It weighs 60% less than conventional starters, and is the easiest to install with absolutely no modifications required....

Does anyone have the pinout wiring diagram for the Garmin 396?

Any one have any sales advice on piston twins v.s turbo prop twins. I'm currently in the process of aquiring a charter buisness that operates 2 navajo aircraft. I've heard some people say that the days of the piston twin in commercial charter work may be coming to an end. Now I don't know if...

When does an engine needs an overhaul? There are several indications that the engine is comming to the end of its life. But what do peolple really look for to decide an engine is to go to overhaul. Low oil pressure, High oil temperature, Low cylinder compression, Loss of power. Which is the factor...

Hello all, Our old panel mounted (yes very old) Apollo 820 GPS by IIMorrow appears to have kicked the can. When turned on it goes through it's usual sequence but eventually emits a red warning along with the message "GPS unable to compute position". There appears to be reception of satellites...

Anyone know of owner groups and/or type clubs for the Piper Aztec and/or Piper Apache type, PA-23-xxx? I'd be grateful for the contact info. Thanks, Ronnie Hughes http://www.HughesAviationServices.com

It's 10pm. It's 6 degrees outside. I decide to go flying. I fly an Cessna 150. The engine has a Tanis preheater. During the pre-flight I notice that the engine block feel reasonably warm. Everything else looks good. I prime 3 or 5 shots and crank the engine. No joy. I let it crank for...

As some of you know, I'm in the market for an airplane. To this endeavor, I find myself reading through a lot of maintenance log books. I've noticed that some people log oil changes but some do not. I'm a little worried about the owners who don't because I don't know if the oil is ever changes...

My partners and I are considering this preheater: http://aerothermheaters.com/ It's advantages seem to be that, unlike Tannis and other sump heaters, it's not permanently attached to the airplane, and therefore doesn't require an STC or W&B recalculation (unless you forget it and leave it attached...

Nut loose in my engine! - Video I think I lost a nut somewhere as my engine is making a strange sound on take off and landing. I have amplified the sound track in this video to see if anybody can identify that sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVetZGvAs0I Comments most appreciated on...
